Montgomery Ink #2
Tempting Boundaries
Decker Kendrick knows it’s wrong to have feelings for his best friend’s little sister, but that doesn’t stop his thoughts from going down that path. No matter how hard he’s tried to stay away from Miranda, once she gets her sights on him, there’s no backing down.
Miranda Montgomery might be the youngest of the Montgomery clan, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what she wants. Namely—Decker. She’s loved him for as long as she can remember and won’t walk away until she gives it her all.
But once they give in, not all is at it seems. Decker’s father’s out of jail and someone from Miranda’s past isn’t happy with the new relationship. Even as they start to move on and overcome their pain, they’ll find that their inner obstacles are the ones they’ll have to face first.

This was probably a 3 star book until Decker left Miranda at the fucking hospital because he's "not good enough for her." Only a total asshole would do that. I'm so sick of these contrived breakups and separations and the Not Good Enough crap.

Decker & Miranda
Decker had a bad childhood. His dad is an abusive alcoholic. He found the Montgomery’s and they took him in as one of their own children.
Miranda Montgomery has been in love with Decker since he walked through their door. She figured she would outgrow the crush and knowing that Decker would never feel the same way about her she tried to move on. At 23 she is even more in love with Decker and cannot keep him out of her head or fantasies.
Decker noticed Miranda growing up into a beautiful and sexy woman. He kept telling himself to stop thinking of her like that she was supposed to be his LITTLE SISTER. But Decker never felt that way towards Miranda. As an adult he tried to avoid her when he could but being a ADOPTED Montgomery made that very difficult.
Some of the family noticed the attraction they had to one another but let it go since they did not act on it. After Miranda tries to make a move and asks Decker out, she gets shot down and Decker tries to scare her so she will not try it again. Decker knows he cannot say NO to Miranda twice, he’s not that strong. But Decker feels that he is all wrong for Miranda and not good enough for her.
After Miranda gets shot down by Decker she knows she must move on and tries to go out with a nice guy from work. On the second date things go really bad and Miranda is now afraid for her safety. She ends up finding comfort with Decker and Decker can no longer hold back his feelings.
What will happen when the family finds out that they are now dating? What will happen with Griffin (Miranda’s brother and Decker’s best friend)?
Some of the Montgomery’s are very happy about the pairing others are not happy about it. Griffin has a major breakdown with the fact that Decker and Miranda hide the relationship and Decker has to smooth that over.
A lot of things take place in this installment of Montgomery Inc. Alex and Jessica, Meghan and her husband, Griffin and Decker, Austin and Sierra…… These characters all have a lot of significant life experiences happen. And poor Miranda had a very poor choice in the man she tried to date to forget about Decker.
I like the relationship of all the Montgomery’s and I liked Decker and Miranda together. I think that my favorite character is Griffin even though we don’t know a lot about him yet. I hope to see him soon with his own romance. I think he needs to fall in love with a maid since he is disorganized and messy.

I'd like to again thank GoodReads & Carrie Ann Ryan for this generous sweepstake/giveaway! Thank you...thank you! My rating is four and half stars and I'll explain why.
Based on my dark depraved tastes.....plus intense action.....and mafia draws you in with blood, gore, torture and bullet flying suspense; in all truth I didn't like Tempting Boundaries. I'm just gonna be straight up with you and not lie. But setting my sinister tastes aside and judging strictly the authors talents.
Carrie Ann Ryan's writing I thought was impeccable. She had a rock solid storyline, plus there was slow building chemistry between the characters that made it more believable.
For those of you who love happy endings, no cheating, sensual erotica this will be right up your alley. Yes there is some light play BDSM but nothing heavy you wouldn't see in vanilla relationships.
Was the story complex or filled with angst drama? I'd have to say no, not really. Sure there was the hook that drew you in and some violence. But compared to my tastes these were tame with predictability factors.
Many of you will enjoy Tempting Boundaries. I sincerely hope I haven't put you off or ruined it as that wasn't my intention or goal. Those of you who knows me, and know what I read will understand where I'm coming from.
What I did see in this read was talent... a strong voice and a well put together story. Hope that helps.

At what point do you tap out on a book that's going nowhere? If it's Tempting Boundaries, the answer is at the beginning of chapter 3 (13%). At least twenty-seven named characters and now a third narrator? Sorry, that's too much algebra for one novel.
Edited to add: I skimmed through the rest of the book (with its SIX narrators) and I swear it got even worse.

A coward without any grovel,
My worst combination… awful!
The sex scenes are good, he’s only interesting in bed, outside of it, a coward!
He left her unconscious and bleeding in a hospital room, he appeared weeks later and in 5 min she forgave him… his dad was bad… poor boy…

Whereas I enjoy Ms. Ryan's writing and storytelling I always find her books tough to rate. Going with 3.5 Stars again.
I really enjoy this series so I shall continue.

Decker and Miranda's story is so full of temptation and passion. I'm super bummed I didn't start at book 1 but I do want to read this entire series. The Montgomery family is great!
My 1st by Carrie Ann Ryan and it won't be my last.

I love Sierra that girl cracks me up, "you two are idiots, but I love you." Sierra laughed at her words, but Austin growled. "I mean I love Decker in a brotherly sort of way. I love you in a sexy, sweaty way. Okay?" Miranda she's such a strong person, "fine with me," Miranda snapped. "You don't have to be an a**hole about it. If you don't want to do this, don't." Decker I loved him when he's with his dog, "I have no idea what you ate to give you that stench, but we're going to find something better at home because eff, dog..." Miranda is the person that calms Decker down, "she patted his cheek. "Stop threatening to kill people." Decker if he were my man and he pulled the trick he did on Miranda while we were hiking I would have smacked him, "plus the bear." She screamed and jumped into his arms. Decker fell back against his truck, laughing his a** off. "I can't believe you fell for that," he said through his laughs. Gunnar barked and trotted around them, playing." Miranda follows her own set of rules, "she stepped out of the bathroom, only to run smack into a very naked, very sexy male chest. Decker cursed then looked down, his eyes wide. "Eff, Mir. Didn't I give you sweats?" I think this is my favorite series by Carrie I love the men in here.

Ben trovate, Fenici!
Ammetto di averci messo qualche giorno (ok, forse molti di più) per buttare giù questa recensione. Il motivo? I confini della tentazione è, purtroppo, un vero e proprio disastro! Attratta dalla copertina e, soprattutto, dal fatto che C. A. Ryan è definita come “autrice di best seller per il New York Times” (cit. dalla copertina), inizialmente non vedevo l’ora di cominciare a leggere… almeno fino a quando non sono arrivata al terzo capitolo. Giuro, per la prima volta in vita mia ho desiderato abbandonare un libro, il che è tutto dire. Ah, piccola premessa: non ho letto il primo volume, poiché, seppur collegati tra loro, sono autoconclusivi.
Andiamo per gradi. Per quanto riguarda la trama, è la classica dei romance.
Decker Kendrick è un “cattivo ragazzo” (almeno di questo è convinto lui), con un padre alcolizzato e violento e una madre eternamente vittima, che non vuole denunciarlo nemmeno dopo esser finita in ospedale. È il figlio, appena dodicenne, a trovare il coraggio di andare alla polizia. Così, il bastardo finisce in galera, ma… beh, ovviamente deve uscirne, altrimenti che trama avremmo? Cooomunque, viene “adottato” (non legalmente) dalla famiglia Montgomery, già conosciuta nel primo romanzo della serie e che qui si ripresenta in tutto il suo splendore. Gli anni passano, Deck si diploma, va al college, e trova lavoro nell’impresa edile dei fratelli Montgomery. Ha, però, la costante fobia di diventare come il padre.
Nel frattempo, s’innamora della piccola di casa, Miranda, di sei anni più giovane e da poco diventata insegnate in un liceo. Per rispetto della famiglia che lo ha cresciuto come un figlio, cerca di nascondere i suoi sentimenti, fallendo miseramente. Una sera, nel suo appartamento, la dolce Mir lo bacia, ma lui tenta in ogni modo di allontanarla, provando persino a spaventarla.
Stufa di aspettarlo, la ragazza inizia a uscire con un suo collega, Jack, ma si dimostra fin da subito molto… particolare. Maniaco del controllo, ossessionato e psicopatico, dopo un solo appuntamento è convinto che lei sia già sua. Al rifiuto della giovane, la segue e, fuori casa, la spinge contro una parete e inizia a picchiarla. Miranda, però, non è una donzelletta qualunque e, nonostante la paura folle che prova, riesce a reagire e rifugiarsi nell’abitazione (dieci punti a Grifondoro per la ragazza con le contropalle! Davvero, mi ha gasata!). Chiama immediatamente la polizia, ma i due colleghi che arrivano all’appartamento non sono esattamente dei migliori. Il più anziano insinua che lei stia dicendo il falso e in realtà si sia data volontariamente al sadomaso (tutto questo mentre lei ha il volto tumefatto e pieno di sangue… mah); inoltre evitano di interrogare i DUE testimoni da lei forniti per dimostrare la lite… bah! Posso capire che l’autrice abbia voluto rispecchiare le incongruenze dell’epoca moderna, ma qui si è un tantino esagerato! Vabbè, tralasciamo questo, altrimenti scriverei una tiritera infinita.
Incazzato nero, Decker la porta a casa con sé e… beh, da cosa nasce cosa e i piccioncini finalmente tromb… ehm, si godono il loro amore. Vi avviso, però, la prima scena di sesso tra i due dura all’incirca una decina di pagine, letteralmente. L’ho trovata inutilmente lunga e stucchevole.
Ovviamente, nascondono tutto alla famiglia per evitare casini e ripercussioni, ma anche perché, prima di ufficializzarlo, vogliono essere più che sicuri della loro decisione. Scelta, a mio avviso, più che saggia, ma il migliore amico di Deck e fratello di Miranda non è d’accordo. Scoperta la verità, fa accadere un pandemonio. Insomma, ci sono i classici chiarimenti, i due finalmente possono stare insieme, MA (beh, deve per forza esserci un ma, non credete?) Jack torna all’attacco e Miranda finisce in ospedale con diverse fratture e contusioni.
Decker, terrorizzato di fare lo stesso, anziché restarle accanto decide di lasciarla lì, con una semplice lettera. Ci vorranno il ritorno del padre e una chiamata della madre dall’ospedale per fargli comprendere realmente quanto sia diverso dal genitore.
Trama, tutto sommato, neanche tanto male, devo ammetterlo. È tipica dei romance, ribadisco, carica di clichés e situazioni trite e ritrite, che tuttavia apprezzo molto. Non è questo, dunque, l’oggetto della mia critica. Purtroppo non posso nemmeno commentare il testo in sé, poiché non ho letto la versione originale.
La vera tragedia greca, care Fenici, è la traduzione! Presumibilmente priva di una qualunque casa editrice italiana (o almeno cosi spero per il suo portafogli), la Ryan ha, evidentemente, deciso di fare copia e incolla del romanzo e tradurlo con Google Translate. Potete ben immaginare lo sturcio che ne è venuto fuori! Editing assente, i dialoghi risultano senza senso e inconcludenti, il testo è PIENO di ripetizioni e, peggio di qualunque altra cosa… nei SOLI primi due capitoli ci sono TRE congiuntivi sbagliati!!! Ma scherziamo?!?! I cinque euro peggio spesi della mia vita! Sono a dir poco sconcertata, considerato che il cartaceo costa sui dodici euro. Errori in questa fase ci sono sempre, siamo d’accordo; ma non puoi pubblicare, a un costo così elevato, un libro tradotto con Google. È sbagliato e, soprattutto, irrispettoso per chi legge e per chi si fa in quattro per fare un buon lavoro a proprie spese.
Per non parlare, poi, delle scene di sesso! Sembra quasi un esperimento di PornHub: “mi annoio, che ne dite di trascrivere i video e pubblicarli in un libro?”. Oh, ovviamente è anche una pessima copia di Cinquanta sfumature! La donna è vista come mero oggetto di piacere, capace solo di ricevere ordini ed eseguirli per compiacere il partner. Volgari e ricche di un dirty talk esagerato e misogino, almeno per me.
Altra grave pecca è l’inserimento di parentesi nel discorso, nella narrativa non dovrebbero nemmeno essere contemplate. La scrittura risulta, quindi, spezzata e poco fluida, difficile da seguire.
Dulcis in fundo: dopo queste 234 pagine, ancora non ho capito come siano fatti i protagonisti, in quanto non sono presenti neanche le più minime descrizioni dei connotati fisici.
Insomma, Fenici, per me questo romanzo è un vero e proprio fiasco, impossibile da consigliare!
Alla prossima!

I thought the characters were so OTT they became ridiculous. While the h is badly injured he decides he's not good enough for her. I feel as if I lost IQ points reading it, I think he was right - not good enough for me!

Tempting Boundaries continues the story of the Montgomery clan, and I loved that I got to follow a new couple closely, while also seeing what was up with Sierra and Austin from book 1.
Decker and Miranda had their work cut out for them - that's for sure! Not only did Miranda's family consider her 'the baby' they also considered Decker a brother. That made their feelings for each other all the sweeter, though, and I truly enjoyed getting to know them better.

Decker has been a honorary Montgomery since he was a child, he's also been in love with Miranda forever.
Decker comes from abusive home his father beat his mother and while in prison his mother was doing really well. This is why he feels he isn't good enough for Miranda.
Lots of sexual tension and family upset with Decker and Miranda being together.
Really enjoy this series and writer.

The hero is a bit annoying and does not know his own worth. The heroine has a stalker that puts her in danger. Good story.

First reviewed on A Weebish Book Blog
Miranda Montgomery, the youngest kid of eight, has been in love with Decker Kendrick for as long as she can remember, while he’s always seen her as a little sister. Finally fed up with the family zone, she makes it her mission to show him what he’s missing out on. Decker Kendrick has been an honorary member of the Montgomery family since childhood. He loves the Montgomery family too much to make a move on Miranda, besides she’s much too good for the likes of him. Will Miranda be able to convince him to give her a chance or will the past defeat them before they can even try?
This book had me sniffling so much. There’s a lot to Miranda & Decker’s story than meets the eye. I couldn’t help wanting to give them both cuddles—and the urge to lock them in a room and force them to get over their issues. They have a lot to overcome and it was hard to watch at times. If you are uncomfortable with abuse themes, this might not be the book for you.
TEMPTING BOUNDARIES a was heart-jerking, emotional roller coaster that had me crying and had me sighing. It was steamy and heartfelt—a wonderful addition to the Montgomery Ink series. I need more!

This book had me sniffling so much. There’s a lot to Miranda & Decker’s story than meets the eye. I couldn’t help wanting to give them both cuddles—and the urge to lock them in a room and force them to get over their issues. They have a lot to overcome and it was hard to watch at times. If you are uncomfortable with abuse themes, this might not be the book for you.
TEMPTING BOUNDARIES a was heart-jerking, emotional roller coaster that had me crying and had me sighing. It was steamy and heartfelt—a wonderful addition to the Montgomery Ink series. I need more!

I don't know that this is actually 3 stars, it wasn't bad, but it didn't really work for me.
despite all that, I liked our MCs, I liked the little glimpses into everyone else, I think there are interesting characters and I hope for their happiness. Alex needs to stop drinking so much. I hope Meghan finds happiness. Maya can choke and die. maybe then she could keep her mouth shut :)

I love the best friend’s little sister troupe and author Carrie Ann Ryan does it up right in Tempting Boundaries. This is never an easy story and it’s even harder in this book because not only isatruegemaward Miranda the baby of a large family but Decker was part of their family for a lot of his life. Best friends with one of her brothers and staying with them often when things weren’t good in his home, Deck is very much a “Montgomery” and he’s done an admirable job of keeping his thoughts and body parts to himself but he’s only a man and when Miranda makes it known that she wants more than his friendship she opens the door for something they both have wanted for a long time.
I love the strong woman Miranda is despite the fact that she’s the baby of the family and could so easily fall into always letting someone take care of her. She makes her own way, she lives her life and when she decides that she’s had enough of wanting Decker from afar she goes for that and I admire her so much for doing so. I also love that she wasn’t afraid to explore her sexuality with Decker and try new and exciting thing along the way. She really blossomed during this book and I can’t help but think so much of that was that with Decker she felt she could finally be herself.
Decker’s story is not a pretty one; he is one tortured man who lived through something no child should have to live through. He is thankful for the Montgomery’s who gave him a safe place to land which is just one of the reasons he knows getting involved with Miranda isn’t a good idea as he stands to lose so much if things go south but just for awhile he feels he deserves some happiness and Miranda makes him happy and calm.
I think what I loved most about this couple is the fact that Miranda shocked the ever living hell out of Deck. He was so worried about her age and experience level and his needs that he never really thought about what she might want and need. Again Miranda was fantastic at letting Decker know exactly what she expected of him and from him. Their sexy times were off the charts hot and I was truly amazed they were able to keep their hands to themselves for so long because their chemistry was off the charts, so much so many of the Montgomery clan had already noticed it (which kind of shocked them both).
I’d love to say everything was smooth sailing for these two but first off it’s never easy when you date a friend’s sister, it’s never easy when you have baggage that keeps reappearing and making you second guess everything good in your life, and it is never easy when you pull a bonehead move that hurts the one you love.
It was easy to fall in love with this couple and their story and having the rest of the Montgomery clan around just made it all the better. Ms. Ryan has written yet another well rounded, entertaining and sexy as hell story in this series and every time I finish one, I can’t wait until the next release date!

I think it's a theme with this author: tell the new story, have the couple from the previous book do a cameo and introduce the one that will feature on the next book. I don't mind, but it makes for a fractured narrative because the three parts don't really mesh together.
I also have no particular love for the "I'm scared I'll become like my father" trope. It always seems far fetched to me.

Maybe 3.5 stars. This one was shorter than I expected and it was all going OK until we got to the separation part and it just came across as contrived and a little lame. Otherwise the story itself was enjoyable and I like reading a series about families so I'll most definitely read the next one

jumping from family friends to more....loved it. One thing I really enjoy about this series is the random chapters from other characters. I think it adds to the series and keeps me up to date with others we've met.

Montgomery Ink Book #2 Decker Kendrick (Adopted into the family) and Miranda Montgomery.
A story about forbidden love. Decker was raised as one of the family but is secretly in love with the baby Miranda. Miranda has always had a crush on Decker and as an adult woman she is in love. Decker has guilt feelings for being attracted to her. This should make for an interesting story.

Aussitôt acheté, aussitôt lu ! J’ai connu l’auteure via le premier tome de cette série qui était déjà un coup de cœur. Donc quand j’ai appris que le tome 2 sortait prochainement, j’étais impatiente. L’auteure m’a une nouvelle fois conquise !
On retrouve l’histoire de Miranda et Decker, déjà vu dans le précédent tome. Miranda est la petite dernière de la famille Montgomery. C’est le bébé de la famille, que tout le monde souhaite protéger. Elle les aime tous mais ils sont aussi un obstacle à son bonheur. Car depuis l’enfance, elle aime un seul et unique homme. Decker, le meilleur ami de son frère, qui ne la voit que comme la petite sœur. Mais quand elle réalisera que son vœu ne sera jamais exaucé, elle décide d’accepter un rendez-vous. Un nouvel homme qui ne sera peut-être pas le bon. J’avais déjà beaucoup apprécié son personnage avant et cela se confirme dans ce tome. Elle a beau être la plus jeune, elle est forte et peut surmonter bien des choses.
Decker cache bien son jeu, puisque lui aussi est fou de désir pour Miranda. Mais pour lui c’est impossible, il se voit déjà en enfer pour ses pensées. (Passage très amusant d’ailleurs). Mais quand Miranda se trouvera en « danger », il ne pourra plus freiner ses envies. Decker est un personnage intéressant mais son histoire n’a pas été assez profonde à mon goût. Ses relations familiales auraient mérité plus que quelques pages. Mais il reste adorable et touchant.
Leur couple, qu’on voit arrivé depuis le tome 1, est sensuel et ils forment un beau duo. Ils sont doux, sexy et parfaits l’un pour l’autre.
Mais s’il n’y avait qu’eux, tout irait bien dans le meilleur des mondes. Pendant une semaine, ils ont oublié qu’ils avaient une famille en commun. Et quand leur secret est découvert, Decker a peur de perdre sa place. On retrouve la famille Montgomery au complet pour mon plus grand plaisir. Comme précédemment, on passe par plusieurs points de vue, même ceux des personnages secondaires. J’adore ce choix. Vraiment, j’ai l’impression d’être dans une série télévisée. On suit plusieurs histoires : la suite des aventures du précédent couple mais aussi le début d’histoire du ou des prochains. Avec ce tome, l’auteure nous montre une nouvelle fois l’importance de la famille.
En résumé, ce livre est une continuité du précédent, avec des rebondissements, nos cœurs sont mis à dure épreuve tout en sachant que le happy end va arriver rapidement. C’est une lecture agréable et surtout addictive. Le travail de l’auteure, l’alternance de divers points de vue, la présence d’une famille au complet, les bonheurs et difficultés de chacun, rendent ses histoires crédibles et réelles. Petit bémol de rien du tout ? Deux hommes, deux Jack/Jake. Quand j’ai remarqué ça, je me suis dit « bah mince alors ». Sans rire, aucun point négatif pour ma part ! Et une mention spéciale pour Gunner !

Feeling inadequate, fighting, and frustrating emotions...
In this second book, Decker Kendrick has the hots for his best friend 's little sister, yet he won't act on his feelings. He is not good enough for her, he believes. He is an honorary Montgomery, having been accepted into the large family years earlier. Treated like a son, he can't betray them by going out with Miranda.
Miranda Montgomery has loved Decker since she was a little girl. Now all grown up, she is ready to show him how much she wants him. Yet neither can be honest enough about their feelings. Much of the novel is about their individual internal dialogue about why they shouldn't be together long term even as they have an off-the-chart sex life including mild domination and graphic language.
Will the couple ultimately end up together? Will the family that sports ink and are always talking about kicking someone 's ass, whether family or foe, accept that the pair deserves to have a chance of happiness?
Full disclosure: I received this e-book as a First Reads Goodreads winner, but that in no way affected this review.

What did I like? I really liked the family dynamic and the friendship througout the book.
Finally, Meghan and Alex got ride of the "assholes" in their lifes. Though, with what I saw so far with the first two books, I'm sure there is going to be a lot of drama involved in their future. Plus, Alex, clearly needs a lot of help. Which leads me to the fact, that I'm not too happy with the way the rest of the family approach resp. doesn't approach the problem he has. I mean it's so freaking obvious and they just take his "I'm fine" on face value.
I'm sorry for Decker's past, but really, he acted like an idiot so much through most of the book, I wanted to slap him several times.
I'm happy that this seems to be the last book were BDSM is part of the lifestyle. I know a lot of people love it, but I totally don't and would never want to be involved into it. So at least, with the future books I won't have to skip those scenes.

Mamma mia! Ho dato due stelline perché tutto sommato ho trovato un finale degno della storia ma praticamente di questo libro non mi è piaciuto nulla.
Prima di tutto il modo in cui è stato scritto , a dir poco pessimo! Errori di scrittura o di traduzione indice di poca attenzione.
La storia in generale dei due protagonisti sarebbe anche potuta essere interessante per quanto già vista ma proprio non ci siamo , troppa fantasia troppe scene esagerate, rapporti troppo troppo malati.
Per non parlare delle scene hot: io non ho nulla in contrario a leggere di storie d’amore o di sesso piccanti ma in questo caso mi è sembrato decisamente troppo.
No proprio non mi ha convinta .

Decent story. Didn't really grip me. It sort of seemed surface writing. I didn't love or hate any of the characters. Competently written but no real spark for me. Not really sure why it took the hero so long to figure his s**t out. And that was a totally douchbaggy thing he did to cause the obligatory breakup at the end.
